Nigerian death is a Victim of the Swiss Asylum Policy
IFIR has received information from our branch in
Switzerland that an unknown 29-year-old male Nigerian
refugee who had been on hunger strike to protest his
expulsion from Switzerland has died while being deported
to Lagos.
He is another victim of the forcible deportation policy
.It is a shame in a democratic country like Switzerland,
which is supposed to respect human right but does not
allow people from other countries to stay in it. We
consider that human rights are universal and cannot be
limited by factors of geographic territory ,gender ,
culture, religion, race, age or place.
Our movement must stand against this barbarism and for
universal human rights. Home is the country where one
lives and works.
IFIR condemns this action by the Swiss authorities. The
Swiss Government must put the people responsible into
the court.
Further to this IFIR calls on the Swiss authorities to
cease all forcible deportations and to respect the human
rights of all refugees living in Switzerland.
It is a great tragedy that this outrage has happened
here of all places in the world.
